That’s exactly right. Users will have to purchase phones on credit like we do for every other major (and sometimes minor) purchase. This doesn’t change the relationship between carriers and their customers at all. It only changes their accounting.
This is the first such prime that was discovered using GPU cloud computing. It’s not just an incredible new discovery, but also a demonstration of what this type of hardware network may be capable.
Following this thread because I think it’s one of the very interesting unanswered questions about federation.
Most Android phones also have an extra dim mode. Any phone with an OLED screen will give you true blacks (including the s23).
I’ve always had good experiences with Samsung phones in terms of durability.
It’s a very stable, reliable, local, cross-platform file syncing that is pretty easy to set up. Basically, it allows you to have a shared folder (or folders) on multiple devices without using Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud, etc.
Oh No! This is terrible news. This IMHO is one of the most irreplaceable projects out there. I don’t know of another cross-platform local file syncing app that comes anywhere close to this. I hope that it can continue even if it’s not through the Play Store.
Google seems to be torpedoing open source developments with a number of decisions lately. Maybe they see F-Droid as a threat now that EU is making them open competition? Maybe they just don’t care.
Anyone used this successfully? I couldn’t get it to do much useful
Breaking news, obvious scam is a scam.
Has anybody heard of any plan or idea to reduce microplastics? We’ve been hearing all this research over the past five years especially about all of the scary places we’re finding microplastics (like our brains, and testicles, and the top of Mt. Everest). I have yet to hear about any studies into reducing microplastics.
Fair… but recognizable. I meant in the generic sense like Kleenex or bandaids.
There is also liberapay, etc.
Do the eyes glow red if it becomes self aware?
There seems to be this very unpleasant new model of development, where companies start off as nonprofits, often employing open source or permissive licenses. Then at a certain point once they have leveraged that to scale, and they snap back permissions and licenses or close new development. Then they transfer ownership or organizational structure to be for profit.
I think it’s a really toxic and damaging approach that jeopardizes the social contract making open source software possible.
I almost feel like we need a new system for open source that examines organizational structure. An open source project that’s receiving millions in VC should not be in the same category as an open source project that’s funded on Patreon or directly by users.
If you need something more universal, you should try a file share service with linking like Dropbox. I know it’s not ideal to replace Google with another paid service, but it is the other option.
Either both people have to have the same app to exchange the file (which if you want something common, means Google, Apple, Samsung, etc), or both people access a server to share large files.
Proton offers file sharing, too.
I never had that issue. Sorry to hear that. I did prefer it when it was lockwise. Having a standalone app was easier to use IMHO but I understand why they integrated it
I can’t think of a Lemmy community of tips or hacks now that I think of it…
No, that’s Lego. Legos is a large metropolitan city in southwestern Nigeria.
Not sure why people are downvoting you, you’re right.
Here’s the announcement from over 2 years ago.
Honestly, sounds like one of those made up sci-fi dates.
